Love the cross linking to other posts! :smart-move:

same, tbh! 😂

replace "start answer" with "start to answer"

replace "at" with "an"

A good example here would be the <details> tag, would it make sense to mention it?

Yes!!! This is great context for why headers are important!

Consider relating this to a page outline or nested lists maybe?

I found this a little hard to follow. Consider revising to something like the following:

"the content in between these tags are related to specific sections of the page"

Capitalize to "According"

Might be worth adding a short concluding paragraph or, if this is it, setting it apart from the previous question's answer.

Something to sum up the benefits of retros and maybe offering your time if anyone wants help getting started with them?

“It It can.” → “A: It can.”

"transparency and accountability"?

This might be confusing to people because it's the first time it's been referenced. Considering saying instead something like "the Actionables column on our retro board".

This section ended up being kind of long. Would it be possible to break it up into multiple "questions"?

Love this definition!

This is interesting and left me wanting to hear more about this perspective. Consider adding a sentence to expand on how it's about people.

Described as a “popular” campsite, but that might be because it’s at about the mid-point on the road

Holy cow, that's a lot!

This sounds like the postal subsidies have been scaled back, but some percentage of this decline can be explained by a decline in print circulation as well.

When? How much higher?

For the purposes of this, we are taking this to mean post-ratification of The Constitution, roughly 1790 forward.

The Baltimore Clipper in 1844 charged $0.01 per copy of their daily paper. The paper consisted of roughly two-thirds advertisements.

According to https://www.davemanuel.com/inflation-calculator.php, $0.01 from 1844 is roughly equivalent to $0.32 today, but today's newspapers cost $1 or more.

This suggests that in the mid-1800s newspapers were more heavily supported by ad revenue than they are today.

According to Wikipedia:

The U.S. Postal Service Act of 1792 provided substantial subsidies: Newspapers were delivered up to 100 miles for a penny and beyond for 1.5 cents, when first class postage ranged from six cents to a quarter.

I originally bought this domain from a registrar that deals with ".es" TLDs. That registrar failed to let me know it was expiring, so it was bought by this German company. I had to haggle with them to get it back. Total hassle.

This reminds me of the sub captain who turned around his band of misfits into the top-performing crew in the Navy by empowering them to make (and be responsible for) decisions without him.

This can get complicated fast.

Number 2 being the following:

It’s too easy for misinformation to spread on the web

Humans are pretty resilient. There is no good reason why the nuclear family is the only model that can work in a modern society.

Yep, this is an incredibly disturbing trend and a huge problem, especially considering the discrimination faced by people with prison records. And, yet, nowhere does the author mention the racial bias that underlies this statistic, the way that (especially, but not exclusively) drug laws are used as a new Jim Crow, a way to control and extract labor from primarily Black and Latino men. Why would he not tie this back to the social forces that created the situation?

Seems reasonable. If you're of "prime working-age" and a labor-force dropout, there's a good chance it's because you've suffered from a debilitating injury. Maybe you subsequently got addicted, but that would be some slice of the 7 million man "army" he cites.

What about well-off minorities and poor white people? I call this out because the author is exposing his biases by reinforcing the narrative that minorities are by definition disadvantaged and white people make up Main Street. Another example of his intellectual laziness.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought he said the coasts were an elite bubble and "real" America was in the neglected interior….

This is shocking and sad and not terribly surprising, unfortunately, considering the weakening economic prospects for this group. That the author goes on later to essentially blame this on Medicaid is despicable, in my opinion.

I would argue it is precisely because of the trillions we devote to medical services each year. For-profit health care is a terrible model for increasing health outcomes. It may drive a certain amount of innovation, but usually only at the high end. Basic preventative medical care is a bargain by comparison and it would be a net benefit to society for this to be paid for by the people's taxes.

This is a problem because…?

The fact that problems in our society "seem beyond our powers to correct" is directly related to the major trend that the author has largely chosen to ignore: that an incredibly large percentage of our wealth is concentrated in the hands of a very few people. These people have chosen to use their means to influence the political process to the point where it is only responsive to them. Get money out of politics and you will make government responsive to the will of the "real" Americans the author so loves to deify.

Shocking? Maybe. But some percentage of this may be due to the "gig" economy. I.e. increasing numbers of people deliberately (or sometimes not) choose project-based work over the standard 40+ hour work week. Freelancers have more control over their schedules, but also much more economic insecurity in many cases.

Great, a nod to the real problem, but no investigation of the causes or implications. Why not?

How many of those potential jobs were lost to automation?

This reminds me of climate denial. "Though there is considerable debate about the causes, there is no denying that temperatures are rising." I doubt there is an honest economist who would dispute that hoarding of wealth by the few would harm the many. We are in a situation where this is happening on an unprecedented scale. I would love to hear from someone more versed in the numbers to know whether that accumulation could account for the decrease in U.S. economic growth potential.

An understatement of "fantastic" proportions!

I take perhaps a more cynical view that all of these bubble-dwellers (as the author would have us believe) have known all along these were the trends, but chose to ignore, downplay, or only take token action to address them to enrich or protect their personal wealth and privilege.

Speaking of "designated victim classes" and "bubbles" is lazy writing and not particularly helpful at best and coded racism at worst. Later, the author talks about people who live in the bubble versus "real America". Seriously condescending, as if people who live in large, multi-cultural cities, who may also have a somewhat intellectual bent are not real Americans.

Here we go again. In fact, Trump won among rural voters, even on the coasts, and Clinton won among urban voters, even in the center of the country. This should be an interesting read if the author is going to be so obviously lazy in his formulations in the opening paragraph.

The problem with this is that economic insecurity stems largely from income inequality. In other words, the fact that a tiny percentage of people have accumulated almost all of the economic gains over the last 15 years means that millions more Americans live under increasingly precarious conditions.

How much of this decline is due to an increase in the numbers of remote workers?
